'Ella Griffin can make you laugh and then cry in the turn of a page' - Marian Keyes.
On her thirty-third birthday, Claire Dillon decides that it's finally time to grow up. She will give herself twelve months to try to sort out her life. Her mother was thirty-three when she drowned. The accident happened on Claire's seventh birthday and deep down, Claire feels it was her fault. Her Mum had everything to live for but Claire's life is a mess. . .
All her relationships have just fizzled out over the years. Her acting career is going nowhere and thirty-three, in actress years, is somewhere between forty-five and extinct. Nothing in her life works. Her locks stick, her pipes howl, her computer has no letter 'p'. Her beloved car, Mossy, which used to belong to her mother, only has one wiper and no reverse gear. If it weren't for the kindness of her oldest and best friend, the gorgeous, charming, and once-very-famous Ray Devine, she wouldn't even have a place to live.
So she gives herself a year to turn her life around. . .
With her ability to move seamlessly between the most painful of truths and laugh-out-loud comedy, Ella Griffin has written a story that teases out secrets from the most dysfunctional of families, a touching story of coming to terms with the past and learning to look to the future.
